Key Features
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive 2011/61/EU (“AIFMD”) was transposed in Gibraltar legislation via the Financial Services (Alternative Investment Fund Managers) Regulations 2013. AIFMD does not directly regulate the operations of Alternative Investment Funds (“AIFs”) but instead regulates the managers of the AIFs; i.e. the alternative investment fund managers (“AIFMs”).
